The mirror of culpability

The money of citizens that is spent on intelligence today, instead, should be spent examining and investigating the records of public servants, both elected and unelected. Nothing malicious. But, rather than examining and investigating the records of citizens, instead, intel agencies and governments should be and are in fact duty bound to diligently investigate public servants and their activities with regard to citizens’ money.

Citizens pay for NSA, FBI, CIA et al to protect the citizens, which includes protecting the privacy of citizens, but not to protect the government, even when the government is their employer, and not to protect their fellow employees and contractors or any other entity or persons. It should be needless to say that any and all government employees must be citizens.  Citizens do not pay agencies and government to spy on citizens.  Citizens pay to know what their public servants are doing with citizens’ money and good will.

Can you blame them?  It is seldom wise to put a target on one’s forehead unless you control the game.  Do you really trust the government to control the whole game?

Drain the intel swamp

Drain this swamp. Then dig up the dirt beneath it to build a wall so that it can never happen again. The intel people implementing this paranoid madness must go and the leaders must be punished. This is no different than Hitler’s henchmen claiming that they were following orders. The working judicial presumption must be that a President is duty bound and responsible for all actions of his or her government. “Plausible deniability” must be outlawed. The buck does stop there.

“Oddly enough, the very same national media that is now accusing Trump of making “unsubstantiated claims” about the Obama administration spying on him is still standing by their mountain of evidence that shows the Obama administration spied on him.”
 
“Out of the half-dozen or so media outlets, all of which are openly hostile to Trump, not a single one has retracted their contemporaneous reports that show the Obama administration investigated and spied on Trump and his team.”
 
“All of the journalism that uncovered this now-inconvenient fact that Obama’s Department of Justice sought and obtained a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant, and the news that the Obama White House was looking at intelligence based on actual wiretaps, still stands!”

Truly Deplorable

This 3 minute video is worth watching and sharing.  It provides perspective and actual facts on the number of illegal immigrants who have been CONVICTED of crimes in the US and then released back into America without being put in prison or deported.  The numbers are staggering.

 

In view of the statistics reported in this video, how can the federal government justify letting these people go and how can a city or a state justify becoming or remaining a sanctuary for criminal illegal immigrants?  Doing so puts the lives and property of American citizens at significant risk and clearly violates the rule of law on which our society is based.

 

On what basis can federal, state and city governments who have engaged in these practices justify their actions?  Do you know?  If so, help me understand.

Out of the woods

Hillary Clinton says she is “out of the woods.”  I guess that means that she thinks no one is willing to prosecute her and the Clinton Foundation for illegally accepting certain campaign finance funds in the run up to the 2016 U.S. presidential election.  Pathologically self-righteous Dianne Feinstein and similar elitist politicians in both parties as well as mass media are very interested in Trump’s tax returns on the PROSPECT that they MIGHT find evidence they could use to try to impeach Trump, but they don’t give a damn about the campaign finance corruption ALREADY PERPETRATED in presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s connection to millions of dollars of foreign money in a private Clinton family fund, apparently legally configured as a tax free charity, but it gives less than 5% to charity.  Hillary thinks the powers that be have let her out of jail.

In similar news, a drug cartel leader escaped from Mexican prison rather than face extradition to the U.S.

“The brazen escape took place on Thursday at the Aguaruto State Prison in Culiacan, Sinaloa, when authorities received a 911 call alerting them about an escape by Juan Jose “El Azulito” Esparragoza and some other key members of the Sinaloa Cartel. The fugitive cartel members are tied to the group led by Sinaloa top boss Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada and the sons of Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, said Cristobal Castañeda Camarillo, the Sub-secretary for Public Safety in Sinaloa. Mexican authorities would not go into details about the escape since the case remains under investigation and prison officials and guards are under investigation.” (1)

So near yet…so far

So near, yet…

“We know that matter remains mysterious just as mind remains mysterious, and we don’t know what the connections between those mysteries should be. Classifying consciousness as a material problem is tantamount to saying that consciousness, too, remains fundamentally unexplained.”

“Consciousness might, for example, be an example of the emergence of a new entity in the Universe not contained in the laws of particles. There is also the more radical possibility that some rudimentary form of consciousness must be added to the list of things, such as mass or electric charge, that the world is built of.”

“[Following work by the American philosopher Thomas Nagel, Chalmers pointed to the]…the vividness – the intrinsic presence – of the perceiving subject’s experience as a problem no explanatory account of consciousness seems capable of embracing.”

So far.

And here’s the rest of it.

Globalists are ____?

Sports doping is caused by global warming. (Just joking.) Globalists are serious people; there is always a cause for them to get behind. And then there is the rest of us in the here and now.  Perhaps they need to grow a tomato or something.  And then distribute their tomato to the rest of us.

Chaos and hypocrisy.

Right now the European Union is falling apart. Poland did not go along with the EU’s plan. And, the big members of the EU are refusing to pay their share of their common defense, an unsustainable situation which Trump campaigned as unsustainable. Poland wants no part of the Brussels hypocrisy. Brexit is formally approved. Italy and Spain want to continue their caste-based systems. France, Germany and Poland are in a twit. Oh my. How does one have a union if it is based on class?

Morally blind?

An example of the danger when there is no moral compass except the law, using the law as a means to an amoral end is the same sociopathy as Bill Clinton’s infamous comment about his sordid affair with an employee, “I did it because I could.” Justice is not blind; lawyers take cases which they believe they can win…regardless the cause is good or bad.

On the other hand, if a lawyer is to make a moral judgment, which moral code do they use when they have already allowed the Ten Commandments to be torn down?

The brilliant Neal Katyal, as former acting solicitor general of the United States during the Obama administration he successfully argued cases before the Supreme Court, and he successfully sued the United States on behalf of Al Qaida terrorists, has filed suit with questionable standing on behalf of the state of Hawaii against the Trump administration, seeking to block the president’s latest executive order on immigration. Hawaii has received only a handful of refugees. Also, Katyal wrote a NYT op-ed supporting Neil Gorsuch, Trump’s nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court.

It is wonderful to be able to think with an open mind, to be able to consider all of the possibilities, but gravity cannot be suspended by a court. A purely secular state and legal system is not practical.

Lindzen’s letter to Trump

“For far too long, one body of men, establishment climate scientists, has been permitted to be judges and parties on what the “risks to the Earth system associated with increasing levels of carbon dioxide” really are.

“Let me explain in somewhat greater detail why we call for withdrawal from the UNFCCC. [United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change]

“The UNFCCC was established twenty-five years ago, to find scientific support for dangers from increasing carbon dioxide. While this has led to generous and rapidly increased support for the field, the purported dangers remain hypothetical, model-based projections. By contrast, the benefits of increasing CO2 and modest warming are clearer than ever, and they are supported by dramatic satellite images of a greening Earth.

The UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) no longer claims a greater likelihood of significant as opposed to negligible future warming,

It has long been acknowledged by the IPCC that climate change prior to the 1960’s could not have been due to anthropogenic greenhouse gases. Yet, pre-1960 instrumentally observed temperatures show many warming episodes, similar to the one since 1960, for example, from 1915 to 1950, and from 1850 to 1890. None of these could have been caused by an increase in atmospheric CO2,

Model projections of warming during recent decades have greatly exceeded what has been observed,

The modelling community has openly acknowledged that the ability of existing models to simulate past climates is due to numerous arbitrary tuning adjustments,

Observations show no statistically valid trends in flooding or drought, and no meaningful acceleration whatsoever of pre-existing long term sea level rise (about 6 inches per century) worldwide,

Current carbon dioxide levels, around 400 parts per million are still very small compared to the averages over geological history, when thousands of parts per million prevailed, and when life flourished on land and in the oceans.

“Calls to limit carbon dioxide emissions are even less persuasive today than 25 years ago. Future research should focus on dispassionate, high-quality climate science, not on efforts to prop up an increasingly frayed narrative of “carbon pollution.” Until scientific research is unfettered from the constraints of the policy-driven UNFCCC, the research community will fail in its obligation to the public that pays the bills.”

Professor Richard Lindzen, PhD. Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Meteorology, Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Science, MIT.

The first bullet point may be a bit subtle. Unlike prior reports, the Summary for Policymakers of the UN Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC) Fifth Assessment Report (AR-5, 2013) does not give projections of likely outcomes but a range of outcomes under different CO2 scenarios (storylines).  (Explanation by Ken Haapala, President, Science and Environment Policy Project.  (SEPP)

Socialism Revisited (reblog)

Posted on March 4, 2017 by

Socialism Revisited
by MC

Socialism is the sponsor of Islam. It believes it can use Islam to once more break Judeo-Christianity, as it did many hundreds of years ago in North Africa. Socialism also believes that, by associating every violent act of the so-called ‘religion of peace’ with a fabricated Judeo-Christian potential for revenge (backlash) violence, they can tar all god-centric religions with the same brush, leaving the field clear for man’s worship of men. But allah is not Yahovah, and mohammed is not Yahushua (Jesus) , the koran is not the Bible and shariah is not Torah.

We now have a few more socialist/Islamist countries going legs in the air and requiring us to bail them out for the sake of humanity. Exactly when is socialism/Islam going to stop bleeding us dry? When is socialism going to stop its scarification of society, supposedly in the search for a cure to so-called ‘poverty’.

I was a poor kid. My father died of radiation-induced cancer when I was in my early teens. I did not go on the school cruise; I had to go to school and eke out the days whilst the richer kids visited the world.

There was no help, just a widow’s pension. My dad was an officer, and officers’ families did not qualify for anything.

So-called ‘poor’ people have to fit a particularly narrow political ‘victimhood’ profile to be thus designated, and the real honest ‘poor’ very rarely fit any profile at all — poverty can suddenly happen to any of us.

When Donald Trump won the election a huge howl of rage went up from the socialist left, and now we see them scurrying around trying to pretend that the election was ‘stolen’ and that if Trump were a white man, dishonest fool, gentleman, useful idiot he would step down and give H & O the ultimate socialist accolade — the grand and most arrogant order of the bad loser made good.

Socialism takes one up to a high place and shows one the world and all its faults therein and demands, “What are you going to do about it; what is to be done?” It then offers to do something about it on your behalf, if you will just submit to the cause. Apparent good works by proxy to those who bend the knee.

In an age where there is no defined morality, socialism becomes even more dangerous because to those warriors of socialism for whom the ends justify the means, if the path to their utopia appears to require extreme measures, then they will take them, regardless of cost and cruelty.

Socialism requires smoke and mirrors. It requires the dumb acceptance of mayhem and murder. In the months preceding the Bolshevik coup d’état in 1917, people wondered where their next meal was coming from. The Duma could not feed them, the Mensheviks failed to feed them, and then maybe, just maybe the Bolsheviks could (but did not). Food became conditional upon the acceptance of party doctrine, the doctrine of advanced socialism and death quotas.

In the 21st-century revolution, a comfort zone had been set up by the media in which Mama Hillary and Papa Barry know best, but H was just too fetid for the sweet violets to entirely mask the stench of corruption, and it leaked out.

It would appear that the first overtly socialist administration of the USA is responsible for some half million lives in Iraq, Syria and Libya and any ‘knock-on effects’ in the homeland. They have demonstrated a two- (or more) tier approach to “one law for all” (and a no-law approach for themselves and their cronies; plus pizza pie for all concerned) , and have shown no regard whatsoever for the sanctity of human life (why is it that Clinton/Obama ex-associates die with such amazing regularity?).

There is the most subtle and serpentine of minds behind this Socialism (and its close cousin, Islam) and I have to admit that it is all very well thought through.

It took a malicious genius to invent ‘racism’ as the defining meme of our time. Just what is ‘racism’? It is a supposedly heinous crime conjured out of a post-Holocaust political rotten smell, and thrown like a sticky bomb at one’s political enemies. It is an evil miasma of supposed wrongdoing inflated into a poisonous virtual gas chamber, a zyklon hell that eclipses all God-given life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.

At the root of the idea of ‘racism’ is the attempted genocide of European Jewry. But the murderous anti-Semitism behind the Holocaust, and therefore, behind racism, is over-represented among those of the political left. One of the rules for revolutionaries is to always accuse your enemy of those things of which you are yourself guilty.

Racism is thus a by-product of socialism, and socialists are the main practitioners of that same racism, now morphed into an anti-white ‘racism’ that is rampant, violent and vicious in our societies. Where once upon a time the Democrats were the pro-slavery party and the instigators of the original KKK, they now conjure with the idea of ‘white privilege’ as something negative. Isn’t it obvious that in a culture and civilization that was almost exclusively contrived by ‘whites’, there should be embedded ‘white-privileged’ ways of doing things?

That we are prepared to share our ‘white’ culture is good, but the left wants us to compromise it because it is too ‘white’. DUH and double DUH! — but all too many people believe the propaganda.

‘Fake news’ is not a new phenomenon; you and I have been sold a propaganda pup most of our lives.

Socialism is like certain types of cancer: a product of an unwise lifestyle. It attacks the body bit by bit, rendering it unproductive, and eventually attacks and destroys its vital organs. In our democratic societies the media is socialist. Its function as an organ of truth is defunct, and thus the body is out of balance. That Donald Trump won the election convincingly is obvious unless one relies on a mainstream media narrative which is mainly fake.

So a true democrat would accept that his party lost this time around, but Democrats are now something different; they are something religious, something more like wannabe Bolsheviks.

There are basic natural laws in society, without which there is no society. First is the sanctity of human life: Thou shalt not murder. The second is one law for all. Socialism decries these basic fundamentals by assuming that their utopian ends justify their animalistic means. So whilst the ‘people’ must always obey their law, Social Justice Warriors can do anything which moves society towards their utopia at the end of their rainbow. It’s a case of ‘My life is sacred; yours is not, but you must obey the laws that I make for you, and I reserve the right to abrogate and interpret those laws according to my whim because I’m intelligent and strong and you are weak and ignorant, therefore I’m right and you are wrong. It’s obvious, stupid’.

There is something ridiculous about socialism and its belief that mankind can solve all its problems if only people would just do as they are told by their betters — that is, those approved and certified socialist leaders, thinkers and theorisers. You know the ones: Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Ho Che Min, Che, Fidel, Benito and their henchmen. And if people cannot do as they are told, then they are no longer needed. Their lives are not sacred; life is utilitarian and therefore expendable.

The gullible of socialism are those who fall for the big con trick: the big lie that man is god, straight out of Genesis chapter 3, written thousands of years ago and still relevant today.

To leave socialism is to admit to being conned, and many just cannot do that. They cannot bear to be wrong and lose face and will therefore try to punch their way out of the corner, in doing so they become narcissistic fanatics, prepared to do violence to defend their irrationality.

I do not think Venezuela has an immigration problem. It is a modern demonstration of what happens in a socialist country when the coffers eventually run dry, when the lower middle classes can no longer be milked. That and huge oil reserves to boot. How long before the coffers run dry in Sweden? Whilst the right kind of immigrant can bring financial benefits, the wrong kind can be a financial disaster. The religious (all are equal) side of socialism cannot see the difference of course, and justifies the bringing in of financial parasites by quoting historical data about bona fide immigrants.

All lies, of course, but when there is no punishment for being caught telling lies, why not lie all the time? If the people are ignorant and gullible enough to believe, then let them burn.

Jesus told the parable of the good Samaritan in answer to the Pharisee’s question, “Who is my neighbour?” The priest and the scribe who passed by on the other side had other commitments, and would have become ‘unclean’ if they tangled with a dead body, and would therefore be unable to do their religious duties. The victim, of course is me, and the deliverer is the one who pays the price for me. It is well therefore to consider who is not my neighbour: the robbers (those totally without Law) the Priests for whom ritual and appearance are more important than succouring those in real need, and the scribes who copy out the scrolls of Torah, but believe themselves not to be bound by it. These members of my community are not my neighbours. The despised Samaritan who patches me up and who pays for me out of his own purse (not out of somebody else’s), He is my neighbour.

However, socialism, thinking it has better ‘wisdom’ than everybody else, stops the Samaritan before He ever gets to me, takes His money from Him and, having deducted its cut, gives the remainder to the robbers in the hope that it will appease them and that they will be good boys in the future. I am, in the meantime, left to it, wounded and helpless and my neighbour, the Samaritan, can no longer afford to help me (but He does anyway).

Among humans there is a need for law and order. Without it we become just another breed of animal. Socialists — whose prime wish is to trash the Judeo-Christian religion(s) and its laws — also expect to be able to retain the civilisation created by and around those laws. They are in for a shock when the penny finally drops and they realize that there is a symbiosis at work. To trash the religion is to also trash the resulting civilization that they enjoy so much. They really are like the cartoon character sawing through the same branch of the tree upon which he is sitting. And those rose-tinted spectacles of socialism can oh-so-easily turn blood red.
